Summary/Abstract: The article will discuss issues that show the connection between the culture of video games and its accompanying technology in relation to space – its functionality and ways of shaping, as an area requiring not only research and protection, but even rescue actions to preserve. The space in which technology defines a function or introduces changes to the way the space is used, whether in terms of public or private space, is due to rapid technological changes a heritage area of a very transient nature. Each type of existential space inhabited by man, especially accompanying the development of technology, is a record of contemporary culture which is directly related to the life cycle of technology – short-lived and fleeting, requiring current research and documentation. The article presents, apart from indicating a area of research, theories of layers of modernity – a way of describing individual experience and awareness of the heritage of technology and culture through the prism of the accompanying technologies defining human functioning.
